Chapter 14

A pounding headache was coming up and Deeks slowly opened his eyes. He looked around, trying to remember what happened. One moment they were driving and the next moment they were in this situation. There was smoke coming from the hood. Deeks looked to his right, seeing Kensi.

'Kensi?' he asked worried and he felt for a pulse. But before he could feel anything, Kensi groaned and she turned her head to Deeks. He smiled and he stroked her head.

'Are you okay?' she asked him and he nodded. He couldn't care less about himself.

'Are you hurt?' he asked her and Kensi slowly nodded. Then she looked in shock at him.

'The baby,' she said and she tried to get her seatbelt off, but it didn't work. She yanked it a few time and she looked back at Deeks. 'I'm stuck.' Deeks tried to unbuckle the seatbelt but it didn't work.

'I'm going to get out of the car and try it from the other side,' he said. When he moved out of the car, Kensi grabbed his hand.

'Where is the other car?' she asked him and Deeks remember again what happened. They were trying to shake of their tail and they drove into some pole. Deeks drew his gun and nodded at Kensi. He walked around the car when he suddenly was thrown against the back of the car. He groaned as the pounding in his head increased

'Deeks!' Kensi shouted panicking and she yanked the seatbelt again. 'Deeks!'

Another fist landed into Deeks' face and he could taste the blood in his mouth. Another punch into his stomach and he fell to the ground, spitting the blood on the pavement. Before he could catch his breath, a kick hit him in his ribs and Deeks cried out from the pain. From the corner of his eye he saw a man moving towards the front of the car and Deeks grabbed the man's foot, keeping him from going to Kensi, who was still shouting for him. That they beat him to death was okay as long as that kept them away from Kensi.

One of the men took Deeks' head in his hand and he threw it against the car. Spots formed in Deeks' vision but he didn't feel the pain from the blow. He was holding onto the man's feet, until a boot stamped on his hand. Deeks let out a cry of pain and he had to let go. Just when Deeks started to lose hope of keeping Kensi safe, a gun shot rang out. Deeks lifted his head and he recognized Sam's car. Relieve filled Deeks and he couldn't feel any pain anymore. Kensi and the baby would be safe. As he realized that, his eyes started to flutter and soon they closed.

'Deeks!' Kensi yelled over and over, tears rolling over her cheek. Deeks was getting beaten and there was nothing she could do. The seatbelt held her in her seat. She tried to find her phone, which she dropped when they hit the pole and she grew more desperate as she couldn't find the stupid thing. Suddenly she heard ringing out of Deeks' bag and when she opened it, she saw his phone. She quickly answered it.

'Deeks, a car left just after you!'

Kensi let go of her breath when she heard Callen's voice. Now she would be able to help Callen.

'Callen! Callen! I'm stuck and I can't get to Deeks! Callen, they are going to kill him!'

'Kensi, calm down...speak slower. What are you saying? Who are going to kill him?' Kensi looked over her shoulder, seeing the attackers.

'The damn attackers! They are beating Deeks to death and I can't do anything because of this stupid seatbelt! You need to get here and help him! And soon! I don't know how long Deeks got!'

'Kensi, we're already on our way.' Kensi was amazed how calm Callen sounded and it even calmed her down a little bit. Then she saw a man approaching her side of the car. Oh God, Kensi thought panicking and she yanked the seatbelt again, dropping Deeks' phone in the process. When she turned to see where the man was, she was looking right into his eyes. His green eyes which looked deadly calm.

'Please,' Kensi whispered. 'I'm...I'm pregnant...' She had never begged a criminal to save her life but this time it wasn't just her own life. She had to keep her baby safe. But the man couldn't care less and he tried to open the door. A deafening sound, to Kensi a beautiful sound, made the man drop to the ground.

'Kensi?' Callen shouted as he ran towards the crashed car. Sam followed him but stopped at an unconscious Deeks. LAPD were arresting the attackers. Callen dragged the man away from the car door and he saw Kensi sitting, staring at the dead man.

'Kensi,' he repeated, this time in a calming voice and Kensi turned her gaze at him. 'Are you hurt anywhere?'

'Deeks...' she mumbled and she looked over her shoulder again. Callen turned her head towards him.

'Kensi, Sam is with him,' he told her. 'Now I need to know if you're okay.' Kensi looked down at her body and when she faced Callen again, he could see panic in her eyes.

'The baby,' she said and tears escaped from her eyes. Again she yanked the seatbelt. She had to get out of the car. Callen stopped her.

'Fire department is on his way and is going to cut you lose,' he said. 'You just sit still. Everything will be fine.'

'Did they kill Deeks?' Kensi sobbed and Callen took her hand.

'No, they did not,' he assured her. 'I think you're the only one who can kill him.' A weak smile appeared on Kensi's face. 'It's good to see that you can still smile...now you don't need to worry. Ambulances are on their way, just like the fire department. Everything is going to be okay, Kensi. I promise you that.' He squeezed her hand and he nodded at her when they could hear the sirens.

'He's severely beaten and had just been in a car crash,' Sam told the paramedics, who had hurried towards Deeks. 'Lost consciousness and hasn't regained it yet.'

'You can step back now, sir,' the male paramedic said. 'We'll take over from you. Paula!' The female paramedic moved closer and Sam stepped away, giving them room to work.

'You better take care of him,' Sam said. 'He's one of us...and he is needed.'

'Don't worry, he will be okay,' Paula said and she placed a neck brace around Deeks' neck. Sam nodded.

'He always is,' he said. 'Hang in there, Deeks 'cause I don't want to tell Kensi that you're not okay.' He glanced at the front at the car, where Callen was with Kensi.

'Kensi is the woman inside the car?' Paula asked and Sam nodded again. 'She is pregnant, correct?'

'Yes, about twelve weeks,' Sam answered. Paula gave the information through to her colleagues over the radio, who just arrived at the scene.

'They will take care of her as soon as she's cut loose,' Paula assured Sam and she turned back to her partner. 'He's ready to go?' The male paramedic nodded and at three they lifted Deeks on the stretcher.

'The paramedics are with Deeks now,' Callen told Kensi. 'So he'll be okay.' Kensi nodded and Callen glanced at the road. What was taking the paramedics so long? Just that moment, two men ran towards the car.

'Step away, sir,' they said. 'We need all the room we get.' Callen had to let go of Kensi's hand and she looked panicking at him.

'Callen!' she sobbed.

'I'm right here,' he told her. 'The paramedics need their space to help you and your baby. But I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere.' The paramedics placed a neck brace around her neck.

'Can you follow the light?' one of the paramedics asked and he shined a light in her eyes. 'Okay, that's good, Kensi. Can you tell me how far along you are?'

'I'm...twelve weeks along,' she answered him. 'Is the baby okay?'

'We don't know yet,' the paramedic answered honestly. 'We need to get you to the hospital for that. Are you having any pain?'

'A little...but it's okay,' she answered. 'On a scale of one till ten it's about a two.'

'You have been in this situation before,' the paramedic smiled. 'But a two is good. Okay, you need to stay still for me, Kensi.'

'We're going to cut you lose now,' the fireman said. Kensi said nothing and looked panicking at the paramedic, who stopped the fireman before he started the procedure of getting her loose.

'Let me get in the car,' the paramedic told the fireman and she nodded towards Kensi. 'She is going to freak out any moment and we need her to stay calm. You need to her to stay calm.' The fireman nodded and the paramedic got inside the car. Kensi's eyes went to the woman, as she couldn't move her head because of the neck brace. The paramedic grabbed Kensi's hand and nodded at the fireman. He shouted to another fireman to come and both they started to cut Kensi lose.

'Kensi, you need to stay calm,' the paramedic sussed. 'Soon you and your baby will be out of the car. Your friend is already waiting for you...he never went anywhere, like he promised. Look at him. Ignore those firemen.' Kensi stared at Callen, who was watching nervously. He never looked nervous. Why was he looking nervous? Was something wrong? Kensi's breathing increased rapidly and the paramedic yelled at the firemen to stop.

'We almost got it!' one of the fireman protested confused.

'She is freaking out!' the paramedic yelled angrily. 'She needs to calm down!' The paramedic gestured Callen to come. Callen hurried towards the car.

'What is wrong?' he asked worried. Then he saw Kensi's panicking look and he heard her rapidly breathing. 'Move!' he ordered the paramedic, not wanting to sounds so rude as he did but he needed to get to Kensi. As he traded places with the paramedic he saw Kensi's tears.

'Callen...is he dead?' she sobbed and Callen shook his head.

'Sam is with him,' he told her. 'He's at the hospital. He's doing fine. You need to calm down so that we can get you to him. You're almost free.' The paramedic passed him an oxygen mask and Callen placed it over Kensi's face, under her protest. He took her hands in his and he nodded to the firemen that they could continue. Within a minute Kensi was freed and placed on the stretcher. Callen walked with her and the paramedic towards the ambulance, never letting go of her hand.

'Can I go now?' Kensi asked curtly when the nurse had put bandages on her head wound. Her doctor, introduced as doctor Peetrony, shook her head.

'I'm not liking your blood pressure,' she answered. 'It's still high.

'It's the stress,' Kensi dismissed and she pushed herself of the table.

'Miss Blye, high blood pressure is dangerous while you're pregnant,' doctor Peetrony warned. 'We need to keep an eye on it. You need to stay.' Kensi placed her hand on her stomach, thinking about the possible that their baby could be in danger.

'Then tell me how Deeks is doing,' Kensi said. Doctor Peetrony looked at Kensi and nodded. 'Mister Deeks had a broken hand, several bruised and a few broken ribs and a lot of bruises and cuts,' doctor Peetrony told her. 'He is very lucky. It could have been a lot worse. Now you know how mister Deeks is doing so you can stay here until your blood pressure is normal.' Kensi sighed irritated.

'I promise you that my blood pressure will be normal again when I can see Deeks,' she told the doctor.

'Your friend told me that you would be trying to do this,' doctor Peetrony sighed. 'Alright, I'll allow you to go visit mister Deeks.' Kensi smiled and she glanced around the room, in search of her shoes. 'But nurse Emma will come with you and you will be sitting in a wheel chair.'

'What?' Kensi replied. 'A wheelchair? I can walk perfectly!'

'Hospital policy and my condition for you to see mister Deeks,' doctor Peetrony said and she crossed her arms, letting Kensi know that she wasn't going to let Kensi go unless she was in a wheelchair. Kensi sighed and she nodded. Doctor Peetrony nodded towards nurse Emma, who left the room to get the wheelchair.

'This is ridiculous,' Kensi mumbled when she sat in the wheelchair, being pushed through the corridors of the hospital. Callen was walking next to her and he was smiling.

Deeks' mouth was dry and he was dying to drink something. But he stopped thinking about drink when his door opened. Someone was in his room. Deeks reached to his night stand to get his gun...but the night stand he felt, wasn't his. His vision was a bit blurry and he needed to blink several times to be able to focus on the person who was walking in. His headache increased but Deeks remembered where he was again and what had happen. Sam sat down in one of the uncomfortably chairs next to the bed.

'You're awake,' he said and Deeks could swear he could hear relieve in Sam's voice. 'How are you feeling?'

'How is Kensi?' Deeks asked, ignoring Sam's question. 'And the baby?' Before Sam could answer, Callen walked into the room, with a smile on his face. Next was Kensi in a wheelchair, being pushed by a nurse. Deeks was so relieved to see Kensi out of the car. He tried to sit up but his ribs didn't allow him.

'Kensi,' he said relieved. Kensi got up from the wheelchair, ignoring the protest of the nurse, and she gave Deeks a hug. From that moment he couldn't care about the pain she was causing him. All he could care about was that she was okay.

'You're okay?' he asked her when she released him.

'I'm fine,' she answered. 'And so is the baby. We got a strong one.'

'Not surprised with a mom like you, Kensi,' Callen joked.

'Miss Blye, doctor Peetrony's orders were clear,' the nurse told Kensi in a firm tone. 'You needed to be seated in the wheelchair all the time. Your blood pres...'

'Check my blood pressure,' Kensi interrupted and she held her arm out. 'It'll have decreased, I promise you.' The nurse moved forwards and checked Kensi's blood pressure.

'Still a little bit high but it has decreased,' she concluded. 'You escaped if doctor Peetrony comes to check up on you.' Kensi laughed.

'You had nothing to do with it,' she smiled. 'Thanks, Emma.' Nurse Emma smiled and she left the room. Deeks took Kensi's hand and he placed a soft kiss on it.

'I'm glad that you're okay,' he whispered. 'I was so worried.'

'You were the one who was getting the beating,' Kensi said.

'You are pregnant,' Deeks said and he touched Kensi's slightly swollen stomach. Kensi felt her stomach warm with his touch. He had talked, cared, about their baby but never had he touched her stomach as if he wanted to touch their baby. And Kensi had to admit that she liked it.

Kensi's eyes fluttered for the fourth time and she almost fell asleep right there in that uncomfortable chair. Deeks touched her hand and she immediately sat up straight.

'What's wrong?' she asked worried. 'Are you in pain?' Deeks laughed and then winced. Kensi looked at the door, ready to get a nurse when Deeks told her to.

'I'm fine, Kens,' he smiled. 'I thought that you should go home to get some sleep.' Kensi shook her head.

'I'm fine staying here,' she said. 'I'm not tired at all.' Deeks raised his eyebrow and Kensi sighed. 'Alright, I am tired but I'm fine staying here.'

'You should go home,' Deeks insisted. ' You should get a good night of sleep. Call Callen to drive you because...well, my car won't be driving anytime soon and your car isn't here...'

'You're lucky it's your car,' Kensi smiled and Deeks laughed. That was right. He remembered what she had told him on once case what she would do if he scratched her car. He didn't want to know what she would have done if he drove her car into a pole.

'How bad is it actually?' Deeks asked. 'Still worth safe? Or should I get a new one?'

'I don't know...but it looked bad,' Kensi answered. 'Hetty took care of your car. Either she threw it away or she brought it to a garage...' Kensi yawned again.

'That is it,' Deeks said and he held out his good hand. 'Give me your phone. I'm going to call Callen.' Kensi grabbed her phone but she didn't hand it to Deeks.

'I'll call him myself,' growled and she dialed the number.

Callen walked into the room only a few minutes later since he was in the cafeteria with Sam. Kensi looked surprised when he walked in and Callen just smiled.

'How are you feeling, Deeks?' he asked like he was just visiting.

'I told you to take your time,' Kensi told him irritated and Callen held his hands up in surrender.

'Talk to Sam,' he said. 'He didn't even let me finish my sandwich.' Kensi sighed and Deeks smiled.

'Well, I don't want to go yet,' Kensi said, crossing her arms. 'I'm perfectly fine sitting here.' Deeks took her hand and he looked at her.

'Kens, you should get some sleep,' he told her. 'Just go with Callen. I need to get some sleep too and the only way I'll get some sleep is when I know that you'll be sleeping comfortably in your own bed.' Kensi glanced at Callen, who nodded in agreement and she sighed.

'Fine,' she gave in. 'I'll go but I'll be here next thing tomorrow.' She turned to Callen. 'You better be at my place at seven o'clock to bring me!' Callen nodded.

'Why don't you get Sam,' he suggested. 'He's waiting in the cafeteria.' Kensi nodded and she kissed Deeks on his left cheek, the only part of his face that didn't look like it would hurt.

'See you tomorrow,' Deeks said and Kensi left the room. The second she left, Deeks immediately turned to Callen. 'You should stay with her tonight.'

'Already planned to do so,' Callen said with a smile on his face. 'No worries, Deeks. I know how to take care of her.' Deeks nodded and he leaned back.

'Oh, and get her some food,' he continued and he sat up again. 'She may tell you that she isn't hungry but she is...or she will be. So get her some food.'

'Deeks, no worries!' Callen repeated and he laughed. Deeks only smiled weakly.

'Just make sure she's okay,' he said. 'And if she isn't sleeping in her room tomorrow, she's sleeping in Damian's room. Just let her sleep there...and don't wake her up at seven. Just let her sleep. You can take her to the hospital whenever she wakes up. She needs her sleep...' Callen's laugh, stopped Deeks' rambling. At first Deeks looked confused at him but then he got it. 'Right, no worries. You can take care of her. Thanks Callen.'

'No problem, Deeks,' Callen replied. 'Just get some sleep.'

When Kensi woke up, she felt her sore muscles. She stretched and got out of bed to loosen up her muscles. The red lights of her alarm caught her attention. They were telling her that it was already half past ten. Damn, Callen, Kensi thought while she quickly grabbed some clothes. She hurried to the bathroom.

There was a breakfast standing with fresh orange juice on the kitchen table when she walked into the living room. Callen was sitting on the couch, reading the news paper. Their take-out was still standing on the coffee table as they were to tired to clean up last night. Callen immediately got up when he saw her walking in.

'You didn't wake me!' she told him angrily.

'I wasn't allowed to,' he smiled. 'Deeks' own, very strict orders. Just eat your breakfast. Deeks told me what to get you...I can't understand how you can eat carrot with peanut butter. That can't be healthy...' Kensi smiled and she sat down at the table. There were no carrots with peanut butter, which made Kensi happy because she only ate them as a snack around two o'clock, but there was some fresh fruit, which Callen had to have bought this morning because she didn't have any fresh fruit, and some plain yoghurt. Exactly what Kensi liked for breakfast. She took a piece of banana. It tasted very good. She hadn't eaten banana in a long time. She had avoided the fruit for the last couple of years but the fruit tasted good.

'Thank you for the breakfast,' she said to Callen. 'Did you have breakfast?'

'Yes,' he answered. 'And I found some coffee, stashed far away in one of your cabins.'

'The smell used to make me throw up,' she explained. 'But apparently no longer, which is a good thing because I never realized how many people drank coffee and how much.' Callen shook his head laughing and he continued reading the news paper.

Just when Kensi was enjoying her breakfast, someone knocked on the door. She glanced at Callen but he gestured that she should open the door. She sighed and walked to the door.

'Who could be knocking on the door?' she asked him and he shrugged. Kensi raised her eyebrows and she opened the door.

'Good morning, Fern,' Deeks greeted cheerfully. Behind him Sam was standing at his car and he held his hand up.

'You were already allowed to go home?' Kensi asked happily and she helped him inside. Deeks was still a bit unsteady and sore. Sam closed the door when he was inside.

'No, Sam helped me escape from that place,' Deeks joked. 'And now we need a place to hide.'

'I'm glad you're home,' Kensi smiled. 'Do you want breakfast?' She pointed at her unfinished breakfast. 'Callen made it.'

'Ah, you followed my directions,' Deeks said, smiling at Callen. Kensi turned to Callen.

'You knew he was coming,' she realized. 'That is why you let me sleep!'

'Well, actually that were also my orders,' Deeks said. 'I never thought Callen would follow them this well.'

'I told you I would take care of her,' Callen replied.

'So what was the reason you were released?' Kensi asked. She was sitting with Deeks on the couch, taking an easy day. Hetty had given them the week off and after that week, Deeks had to do deskwork just like Kensi until the cast on his hand was removed.

'The doctor cleared me,' Deeks answered. 'They just wanted to keep me overnight for observation.' Kensi nodded and she leaned against his shoulder.

'Now that it's just the two of us and you don't need to be the tough girl anymore, tell me: how are you?' Deeks asked.

'A little headache and some soreness,' she told him. 'The doctor told me that the headache and soreness would pass in a couple of days.' Deeks looked at her head wound.

'No stitches?' he asked and Kensi shook her head.

'Nope, bandages were enough,' she said.

'I'm glad you're okay.'

'So am I.'

TBC.

Anything medical might be wrong because I'm just a teenager and not a doctor.

Like promised a new chapter. I hope not too many mistakes because I'm really tired after the KEI-week which was amazing. Next chapter is written but not yet on the laptop. That will be done soon and I'll post it then.

My question to you this time is what do you want to happen? What are your wishes for the story?
Just so I know what you all want. I'm not saying that it's going to happen (and if I put it in, you will get credit) because I already have a plan for the story but I'm curious to what you're thinking.

So please review xD
Love to hear what you think because you guys are the best!
